Large communities of researchers distributed around the world are engaged in analyzing huge collections of data generated by scientific instruments and replicated on distributed resources. In such an environment, scientists need to have the ability to carry out their studies by transparently accessing distributed data and computational resources. In this paper, we propose and develop a Grid broker that mediates access to distributed resources by (a) discovering suitable data sources for a given analysis scenario, (b) suitable computational resources, (c) optimally mapping analysis jobs to resources, (d) deploying and monitoring job execution on selected resources, (e) accessing data from local or remote data source during job execution and (f) collating and presenting results. The broker supports a declarative and dynamic parametric programming model for creating grid applications. We have used this model in grid-enabling a high energy physics analysis application (Belle Analysis software Framework) on a grid testbed having resources distributed across Australia.

Grid services provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware andsoftware) that take part into a Grid environment. In this scenario, applications, like scientific visualization, require access to data of non-conventional data types, like fluid path geometry, and the evaluation of special user programs on these data. In order to support such applications we are developing CoDIMS-G, which is a data and program integration service for the Grid. CoDIMS-G provides users transparent access to data and programs distributed on the Grid, as well as dynamic resource allocation and management. We conceived a new node scheduling algorithm and designed an adaptive distributed query engine for the grid environment. Copyright 2004 ACM.

Porting large parallel applications to new and various distributed computing platforms is a challenging task from a softwareengineering perspective. The primary aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the development time to port very large applications to the Computational Grid can be significantly reduced. TOP-C and AMPIC are software packages that have each seen successful applications in their respective domains of parallel computing and process creation/communication over the Computational Grid. We combined the two packages in I man-week, thereby leveraging several man-years of previous independent software development. As a real world test case, the 1,000,000 line Geant4 sequential application was then deployed over the Computational Grid in 3 man-weeks by using TOP-C/AMPIC. The cluster parallelization of Geant4 using TOP-C is now included as part of the Geant44.1 distribution, and the integration of TOP-C/AMPIC and the Globus protocols will additionally enable the use of the fundamental Grid middleware services in the future.

This paper reports on the performance of distributed haptic virtual environment (DHVE) applications deployed over policy-based IP networks. Our previous work reported that a best effort service in IP networks is inadequate for satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of such applications. The current work tries to find out whether applying differentiated services (DiffServ) satisfies DHVE QoS requirements or at least improves them. This work also determines which policies should be applied on the network. A set of experiments was conducted over a network connecting two departments of the Queen's University of Belfast. The results are presented in this paper and compared with our previous work results.
